Volunteer Board Members

Company: Ontario Land Trust Alliance

Ontario Land Trust Alliance is recruiting volunteer board members! 
We owe our collective successes to land trust members and supporters who play such a 
crucial role in protecting Ontario’s biodiversity and special places. Thank you. 
One of the most important volunteer jobs at OLTA is serving on the Board of Governors 
(directors). These incredible volunteers set OLTA’s strategic direction and provide 
governance oversight and expertise to support OLTA’s programs. 
One of the important responsibilities of OLTA’s Board is to ensure that we have excellent 
candidates in the wings to fill vacancies when existing governors complete their terms. We 
know there is a wealth of experience and knowledge amongst our members and 
supporters.  
What are we looking for? First and foremost, a love of the land and commitment to our 
mission to empower a vibrant and enduring land trust community in Ontario. At this time, we 
are seeking diverse skills and experiences, including an understanding of land trusts and 
specific expertise in the following sectors: law, corporate, or communications. I invite you to 
put forward your name for consideration or that of someone else who might be interested.
